I'll get try to get some pics up soon, it's great. Bit girly, but it's my friends wife who did the decorating. I've seen ones with log fires and deer skin blankets, most houses seem to have them here.

That's more my speed....rustic,Slavic,Nordic,woodsy . Geeze....where's the hot buttered Rum now ... and the Raclette too !

Pipe in the city. Obviously in a place named 'old town' All houses are built between about 1650 - 1800.
Howevers, had Erinmores from Hardcastle zulu.

Not much in the way of traffic I could live there I reckon!

Is this a historic display Sailor or do folks actually occupy the buildings currently ?

It is a historic site these days. There was a huge fire in 1827 that burned all the wooden buildings in the central parts of the city. Except these 18 blocks. The area has been protected by law 'as is' ever since.
Not suitable for accommodation with the modern standards. Nowadays there's a lot of small museums, artesan studios & shops, cafes and whatever. It is a place for tourists and those interested in history.

As there has been many tobacco factories in the city, there is also a small pipe & chewing tobacco museum. Unfortunately way too dark inside to take decent pics. But as you can see from the pic, those pipes in the rack are huge

I brought a little pre-cubed revor plug in a tobacco tin over to the house a couple of days ago, but there was only enough left for half a bowl so I topped it off with gawith hoggarth's dark plug. When the two started combining it tasted amazing, so I'm thinking about experimenting with a kind of plug blend.

One of my favorites is 30% 3P Plug, 20% Jackknife Plug 10% Navy or University flake, 20% Irish flake 20% Old Joe Kratz. I'll prep the cube, rub out the flake to a mid size ribbon and mix everything together in a jar in my shop for convenient ready rubbed plug mixture with all the Vitamin N a growing boy needs.
